It bricked itself when overclocking. In my case, I used the AI Suite 5-way optimization (which is what I typically use as a baseline on Asus boards). Jay at JaysTwoCents appeared to be manually OCing from the video he put up.

Was it due to auto-update of BIOS though?

R7 1700 @ max oc on stock volts (not found yet) currently at 3.4 all core, Wraith cooler , Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3, 16GB CL15 3000, R9 290.
Running in parallel with the 4790K system, not sure if I will migrate to an X370 board in a few months.
Have to ask: what workloads are you running where an all-core clock of 3.4 performs better than 2-core at 3.7 and all-core at 3.2? I would think the latter performed better in games, but what do I know?


Here we go! I haven't heard anything about this board yet I guess I'll find out.
That looks pretty sweet. Is that a Define C? The dual-wielding m.2 SSD stuff is kind of making my brain shout "throwing money out the window", but I guess if you can afford it it's pretty awesome

And the goodies keep trickling in:

I have to say, those heatspreaders look nice. And the red details have a surprising high-quality look to them. Not that it matters even slightly (I don't have a windowed case, won't get a windowed case, and DDR4 doesn't need heatspreaders regardless of voltage), but I do like me some good product design. Vanity > sanity, in this case.

The last order of the build is placed: CPU block (EK-Supremacy MX Acetal), thermal paste (Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, my Gelid GC-extreme is running low), and my second radiator (EK-CoolStream PE 240). Now just crossing fingers, toes, and all other applicable appendages hoping the motherboard gets here soon. Arrival at the retailer is still "unconfirmed" for the 10th ...

Is anyone else doing custom water??
I eventually will when the Asus ROG C6H becomes available again. I have a Thermaltake V51 case equipped with 2-360mm slim Magicool rads (top and front), an EK Supremacy EVO block with the AM4 adapter and an EK D5 140 pump/res combo ready BUT I had trouble getting it to boot with the Asus Prime B350 Plus mb. I'm not sure what the problem was but Thank God I still had my Corsair H110i GT AIO cooler and Fractal Define S case. They worked well with the mb and my Ryzen R7-1800x (specs in sig). It is working well.

The reality is that with the very limited OCing headroom, especially for the 1800x, most of the high end AIOs or even air cooled fans keep the temps acceptable. Not sure how much impact a custom water cooled rig will have over them. I intend to find out ( if the C6H ever comes out in sufficient quantity).

It is a define c. The second m2 is just a sata drive its not more expensive than 2.5 I'm going to use it for dual boot purposes

I got this email today...

Dear -ME!-

Thank you for being one of the thousands of people to have ordered a complimentary CORSAIR AM4 bracket. We’re excited to bring our Hydro Series liquid cooler to the new family of AMD Ryzen™ Processors and the new AM4 socket.

However, due to significantly higher than expected demand for our AM4 bracket, we regret that there will be a delay in shipping your order. We are working hard to fulfill every request as fast as possible, and will update you again shortly to provide an estimated delivery date.

As a reminder, the free AM4 bracket is only needed if you are using a CORSAIR Hydro Series H50, H55, H75, H80i v2 (H80i GT), H90, H100i v2 (H100i GTX), H105, H110i GTX or H115 CPU cooler.

If you are using a CORSAIR H60, H110i or H100i, these coolers ship with a fully compatible AM4 mounting bracket included in the box.

Thank you for your patience

CORSAIR Customer Service Team

Why do I get the same feeling I got with Amazon? I ordered my AM4 Bracket minutes after the corsair.com/ryzen website went live, I ordered my Motherboard from Amazon 13 minutes after pre-orders went live...

Why do I get the feeling I wont get either one until April? Whatever happened to first come first serve?

Well, I cannot say 1700 @ 3.4 will perform better, the 4790K is at 4.6 all cores OC. Right now I am working on finding the max stable OC on stock volts for the 1700 then go from there. BF1 is the big test, but my free time is about an hour or two at night.

Last night was eaten up by the SSD in the 1700 system not being detected by the BIOS (wonky after failed OC) until I took it out and scanned it for errors on the other windows box. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah these shortages for everything except the CPUs is surely frustrating. Especially when a big company such as Corsair does not have AM4 brackets in time for release.

At least my "cheap" 1700 that I ordered from GEEKDEAL from eBay shipped out today. I don't really want to buy an ATX case and full sized ATX motherboard just to play with Ryzen. The sooner the CPU gets here the more antsy I'll get.

That early adoption tax gets ya someway or another.

Why didn;t you get the backet from Corsair for free ?

Jesus! I didn't realize how bad the whole DDR4 situation was! Even slower "cheap" ram is selling out or getting jacked up prices!

AMD really showed how much pent up demand there was for an affordable multi-core CPU. Seems a lot of people are upgrading or building 2nd/3rd rigs with Ryzen.

...I should buy some more AMD stock...

Is anyone able to find 16GB DDR4 for less than $80?

I am not happy that I spent $80 on memory.
The commando memory is $90.

According to reddit, someone got an email from corsair saying they didn't expect such high demand, and they are out of stock atm.

Zoffster1, I only use distilled water in my custom loops plus a drop or two of biocide.

I'm a bit confused, I've looked everywhere and found conflicting results. Will Ryzen perform faster with ram at say 3200mhz CL16 or 2800mhz CL14. Basically, how much lower would CL16 -> 15 -> 14 provide?
